Dirk was on his way back from the gym. Before he could even get a workout in,
Dren laid some half-brained idea to sue Harris. And he wanted Dirk to be his
lawyer. "One, I don't have a law degree. Two, I don't know how much good a
civil trial will do. We're JMC, remember."
Dirk was making his way back to the theatre. A scutter told him that The Two
Jakes was playing tonight, followed by The Cowboys(both John Wayne films for
those of you who don't know. I did my research in the BD About the BD section).
Holly popped up on a screen in the hall. "So I hear you're gonna sue Harris."
"What?!!!" How could anyone else know?
"Harris has been muttering about it for the last ten minutes," Holly responded.
"Harris!! I know good and well that even Dren isn't stupid enough to tell him
about that. Did you tell him?"
"Nope. He didn't hear it from me."
"Then how does he know?"
"Beats me." There was a quick pause. Dirk was racking his brain about how
Harris could have gained this information. Holly broke the silence. "Since you
did so well in helping me with the crossword, could you help me again?"
"What is it this time?"
"I need to find six things wrong with this picture and can only find two."
Holly then displayed a cartoon as the ones in Sunday funnies with the "What's
Wrong With This Picture" written above them. "I've already got the pinapple for
the hat and the alligator pogo stick. But after that, I'm stuck."
Dirk couldn't believe his eyes. The picture was the kind of thing that a six
year-old could figure out with no problem; and, yet, Holly was stuck. "I
thought that you had an I.Q. of 6000."
"I do. What's your point?"
"With a 6000 I.Q. I would think that you could at least see the baboon
delivering the mail."
Holly blushed a little with embarrassment. "This isn't the 21st century, ya
know. We've come a long way. Government agencies are, after all, equal
opprotunity employeers."
"This is wrong. So wrong. I've got to do something about this." Dirk went to
his quarters and logged onto his computer. It was quite nice to have such power
so close. He could do anything he wanted and not have to worry about being
caught. An expert masking system would allow him to hack into JMC's computer
banks itself and not be detected. An AI with an I.Q. off 20000 wouldn't be able
to track him. He scanned Holly's files looking for any error that would cause
an AI with a 6000 I.Q. be as dimwitted as a hurricane victim who thought that
"it would just blow over." Dirk was shocked by what he found. "Holy smeg!"
Then a smile crept across his face. "Gotcha!"
